9 products which I feel were really worth the money.
1. The JM Argan Oil came with a couple of other things in the Escape to Morroco: Holiday Lights & Brights set. Don't think it's available on Sephora anymore. It's a really light multi-purpose oil which doesn't have a heavy fragrance and isn't oily. It just absorbs really quickly and doesn't make the skin any oilier. Apply it to hair ends and it also makes hair look better. Would probably get the original size (1.7 oz) once this runs out.
2. When I first got this concealer, I thought it was really dry. Couldn't seem to squeeze the product out of the tube. However, now that I have used it almost daily, I don't have this issue anymore. So, don't give up after one try if you think it's dry! It must be because it's new. A little goes a long way and I think this tube would last me a year? I don't use much concealer so this is pretty value for money. Even without a primer underneath, this concealer doesn't crease, run or smear. It also doesn't produce additional oil and stays matte.
3. I tried the Clinique 3-step skincare routine previously but wasn't impressed. This is my second bottle which I bought on a whim. Metro purportedly had a 20% off sale but turned out to be false advertising. Instead of giving me a 20% discount, they issued me a credit note for my next purchase. 20% of my item price. Wth!
Anyway, this moisturiser is intended for oily/combi skin. It absorbs quickly and isn't heavy at all. Doesn't break me out and doesn't sting my face. I used to feel that moisturisers would make my face oilier if I wore it under makeup so I never did that. But with this product, I have been using it under my BB/CC creams and I don't feel that it produces additional oil.
4. One of my favorites fragrances! I can't describe fragrances so I won't even try. But I have received compliments on it so... it's a good scent is all I can say.
5. Dry Shampoo. Lifesaver on days you have second-day hair / hair's too flat. There's no powdery residue and the price point is attractive. $5.90 for 1.53oz.
6. This sunscreen is very runny. It's pricey as with most doctor-prescribed products (rolls eyes). I am not a fan of sunscreen. I would think oh there's spf in my foundation so that would do. However, because I removed a mole recently and the doctor recommended A LOT of sunscreen. I took this out and used it religiously (sort of). It's white but the texture is very light so it actually gives you a glow rather than a white cast. One of the things I hate about sunscreen is the sticky feel but this one isn't sticky at all. I think the best part is its watery consistency. I detest sunscreens that feel heavy/creamy. It's so... urghh gross. A little goes a long way and this tub would probably last a few months.
7. I have had auditees asking me what this is before (haha). It's a stick primer, I would think. Because it's japanese, it doesn't say that it's a primer. It markets itself as an oil remover. I think Benefit has a similar stick primer product. My face tends to look shiny very quickly so this is really handy for touch ups. You just blot your face (NO oil blotters, use tissue) and then apply this to the shiny areas. This has no color and doesn't actually leave any product on your face in my opinion. However, the area you apply to just looks matte for some reason. There must be some science behind it that I'm missing cuz' I'm such a noob. But anyways, it is one of those life savers that I tote around daily.
8. This blusher was used on Get It Beauty as part of the Baby Face Makeup look . Video is linked here.
The lilac is pretty light or rather, I think I'm too dark for it to properly show up. Anyway, I don't mix it with the cc cream. I just apply it to the butterfly/apple zone instead of using it as a blusher. Because it's so light, it doesn't look weird when you apply it to your nose. The texture, as the name suggests "Water Color", is really like water. It's not a heavy cream so blends out very easily. Under cooler lighting, I can see the lilac but it's not that apparent under warm lighting/out in the sun.
I really like this! On the same video, they mixed an orange blusher with cc cream to conceal dark circles. I've never thought that orange would work but it did.
9. Travalo spray is so handy to tote around! I'm sure lots of people experience their perfume fading over the course of the day and it doesn't make sense to tote that glass bottle around. With this spray, you can carry your fragrance with you! It fills up easily with no mess. It doesn't leak and it's lightweight. With this, I feel that I would get round to using my perfumes. In the past, I would just let them sit there and go to waste. So this is brilliant!
